My sympathies to the Groves' family. Mina was my cousin and I babysat for Lori when she was a baby. Mina and Jim were devoted to their family. He was always friendly and talkative to everyone. He was passionate in his beliefs, in everything he did in life. And, he's with Mina now and at peace.

I can still remember Jim and Mina going to baseball games at Kearsley Park way back in the 1960s. There smiles always very memorable. Lori you and your brothers have a part of Jim in you. He will never be forgotten, he made his mark in this world. My heart and love go out to you my beautiful cousins. Everytime you look up at the sky Jim and Mina both will looking at you with those memorable smiles. Keep your spirits up always. Take care of each other.
Love, cousin Mary Soto

I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I'm sure going to miss receiving a Christmas card from him, as I've received one from him for so many years. He was truly a beautiful soul and he's finally reunited with the love of his life. My continued prayers to Lori, Jimmy and Tony and their families, may you all continue to lean on the Lord for strength during this time.
